Hey there! We’re having a blast on our road trip…it began with 4 (yes, four!) NASCAR races in Daytona, including the 500. Fisher really enjoyed the races and meeting the Xfinity Series champ, Daniel Suarez. Then it was on to a couple of beautiful state parks in Florida…and finally…the Big Easy!! We camped near Lake Pontratrain and visited the French Quarter and the Superdome (again, one of Fisher’s favorite places). The highlight for me was having an amazing dinner at Brennan’s (Banana’s Foster…yum!) and experiencing the fantastic jazz music of the Preservation Hall All-Stars (see pic). We were right in front of the trombone player…he was hilarious! All the musicians were so talented and full of joy for their music… it was a thrill and an honor to hear them. If you visit New Orleans, you must go see them! Click HERE for a link to their website.
We finished off our visit with a kayak trip through the swamp at Honey Island near Slidell with New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours. The cypress trees were beautiful, the house boats were funky…just a great day on the water.
Now it’s on to Lafayette, the heart of Cajun country…and then Austin for South by Southwest. Yay! Take care…
Peace & Love, KP
